I did not work for me :(
This is what I did:
I did not removed the Network-manager y just disabled it from the
startup.
I rebooted the computer so, when it started up again, the network-
manager was not there.
I rerun the following commands again:
rmmod b43
rmmod ssb
modprobe b43
and then I tried to set the wireless driver as enabled again.
I was asked to reboot the system once again.
When I went back I did not work. Still no wireless.
This is my output:

I tried to go this site as well:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware
But honestly it is an ass pain to set up the wireless that way.. I
couldn't make it work :P
Thanks for your help
